Army / Navy

As a girl from a family with a long naval history I have always loved this rivalry..

Let's keep the streak alive Navy!

YUP!

Commissaries Re-Opened.

I had heard one of our area Navy Commissaries had re-opened,  I checked online for the others. The one closest to us was as well. So we picked the kids up from school and made the trip.
With  the President and democrats in the Congress and Senate not willing to negotiate on the government shutdown issue, It was a  blessing to see the stores reopen and we know all to well that the future for veterans paychecks and disability pay is uncertain at the moment. So we chose to stock up as much as we could.

It looked like business as usual as if nothing had ever been shut down, all the canned items were still in place.
Then we headed back to the meat department, and that is where you noticed the difference.

 

They had red meats out, and a little bit of pork products. But the chicken had all been frozen, and even though it was past its "sell by" date. The DeCA food inspectors still approved it for sale because it was frozen, they did place it on clearance. We got one look at the chicken and passed.  It looked really awful.

The cheese cooler wasn't much different:

It was almost medevil, it gave me a glimpse of what the future could look like. When a natural disaster may hit, or SHTF happens.
When there are no more deliveries and all the shelves are picked clean.  This was a sample of how real things will get....
